Chapter 144

When Li Changting came home, he removed the firewood pile and called Xu Qing, who was hiding in the cellar.

"It's OK. Come out." Li Changting pulls Xu Qing up.

"Are you hurt?" Xu Qing looked at him up and down, and was relieved to see that he was in good condition.

"I'm fine."

"What about the mountain bandits?"

"All dead."

Hearing this, everyone was relieved. Li Jinmei picked up the two children and asked, "do we want to go down and help?"

Li Changting: "pack up first and move to the cave tomorrow."

Then Li Changting leads Xu Qing back to the house. When he walks into the yard, Xu Qing subconsciously looks down the mountain, but Li Changting covers his eyes with his hand.

"Don't look. Go back to the room. I'll take a shower first." Li Changting embraces Xu Qing with a cool palm and enters the room.

When they enter the space, Li Changting goes to wash off the bloody gas. When he comes out of the bathroom, he sees Xu Qing grinding medicinal materials.

"I'll grind some medicine and you'll send it to the villagers later." Xu Qing knew he couldn't see blood, and he didn't force himself. The attack was so unexpected that people were not prepared at all. There was no need to think about it and know that the village must have suffered heavy casualties.

Li Changting hugged her from behind, kissed the top of her hair, and said, "let my sister do these. You make some food. I'm hungry."

Xu Qing looked back at him: "can you still eat?"

Li Changting: "I can eat what you make."

Xu Qingbai glanced at her red dates and medlar: "I'll make some porridge."

Half an hour later, Li Jinmei carried a bamboo basket, Cao Laoliu and Li Changting carried a bucket down the mountain.

The patriarch placed the injured in the ancestral hall to facilitate Chen Li's treatment. Chen Li didn't have many medicines, and the existing medicines were pieced together by families.

As soon as they entered the ancestral hall, Li Jinmei smelled a strong smell of bitter medicine.

There were more than 50 injured people, seriously broken hands and feet, a little lighter was pulled a few cuts.

"Chen Li, I've brought the wound medicine. Will you come and see if it's enough?" Li Jinmei put down the basket and cried.

"Really?" Chen Li rushed over, picked up the paper bag in the bamboo basket, smelled it, and said, "good medicine!"

The patriarch asked suspiciously, "Changting, what do you choose?"

"The porridge made by ah Qing." When Li Changting opened the lid of the barrel, a strong smell of porridge came out and attracted everyone's attention.

Li Jinmei said to everyone, "this is the blood enriching porridge made of millet, jujube, medlar and brown sugar for the injured. The other three barrels are wild vegetable and egg porridge for you. You can take bowls for all you want to drink."

As soon as we heard this, we went home to get a bowl and spoon.

"Jinmei, give me a bowl of blood gruel. My family has shed a lot of blood today."

"I'll have a bowl, too. More dates."

Li Jinmei said: "all have, everyone line up, don't worry."

The women lined up obediently when they saw that the porridge in the barrel was thick enough. Li Jinmei filled a big bowl for each of them. The women rushed back to feed the injured man with porridge. These are good things!

"Delicious

"This porridge is delicious!"

These are all porridge made by Xu Qing with Lingquan water. After the injured man ate it, he immediately felt much more comfortable. His stomach was warm, and even the wound didn't seem to hurt so much. Moreover, the taste of porridge was delicious. They had never eaten such delicious porridge before!

The uninjured men and women all went to deal with the corpses and bloodstains. These things had to be burned at the first time. Almost all the firewood in each family had been moved out.

The fire started in the original cowshed. Those who had died had to cremate their bodies and then hold a decent funeral later.

They all drag their tired bodies back to the ancestral hall and drink a bowl of hot and delicious egg porridge one by one. The delicious food can make people feel better. In a short time, they comfort each other and cheer up.

Li Jinmei sent the last bowl of egg porridge to the patriarch: "patriarch, the more time we come, the more we need to cheer up. You also need to cheer up?"

Looking at the dead people in the genealogy, the patriarch sighed: "these are all good children. Some are only 16 years old..."

The patriarch wiped his tears and took the porridge in Li Jinmei's hand: "you've worked hard too. You've spent a lot of money."

Li Jinmei: "it's all for the village."

After a short rest, Chen Li called him to take a bath.

Chen Li reminded everyone: "change all the clothes with blood on your body and burn them if you can. Go back and have a good bath. After washing, those mountain bandits don't know how many dirty things they have not bathed for many days. Don't attract mosquitoes and flies any more."

The patriarch also said, "go back and pack up. We'll move to the cave tomorrow morning. If it's too big, don't take it with us. At that time, every family will have a small cave, pots and pans, clothes and bedding. You can do it by yourself."If you were still reluctant before, now you want to pack up your things and hide in the cave immediately. No one even hesitates to burn the village.

"Ah Gong, we have moved all the things we found from the mountain bandits to the small ancestral hall. Go and have a look." Li Jing came over.

The patriarch called, "Changting, let's go together."

There are two kinds of things on the ground of the small ancestral hall, one is money, the other is weapons.

Li Jing didn't ask for anything else. Even the cloth bag containing money was thrown into the fire.

There's a lot of money, copper money, silver coins and silver notes. You don't have to guess that they must have been robbed by mountain bandits.

There are more than 40 lightsabers, two bows and arrows and some daggers.

Li Jing asked: "grandfather, how should we deal with these?"

The patriarch pondered for a while and said, "we can't take these things. We should hide them first and hand them over to the government later."

Li Jing hesitated.

The patriarch frowned and said, "these are all stolen goods. If we want them, what's the difference between them and the mountain bandits?"

Li Changting: "there's no need to hand it in. Even if we kill dozens of mountain bandits, it's not a pleasant thing to hear. Keep it first. Next, I don't know what I'm going to face. I'll dig out the cave and let everyone learn some Sabre techniques to defend themselves. When the time is good, I'll forge the iron again and make it into farm tools. "

The patriarch thought about it and nodded: "it's good to keep self-defense. How can we divide these?"

Li Changting said: "if you don't have to divide it, it will be taken as the common property of the village. The money will be kept for the future reconstruction of the village. After the knife is forged again, it will be distributed to each family according to its weight."

The patriarch's brows spread: "good!"

After Li Changting came home, Xu Qing asked, "how many people were killed or injured today?"

"Forty nine people died and more than 50 were injured." Li Changting said, "some people are hurt too much. I'm afraid they won't live for a few days. You don't have to feel sorry. There's nothing you can do about it."
